Now that we are in full swing of summer season and holidays are right around the corner, I could not think of a better subscription box to arrive in my mailbox!

Each RazorCompany.com box comes with a welcome card and a thank you note from one of the founders.

On the opposite side of the card they outline their referral program to earn free razors for yourself. I love these programs…what a great reward for sharing your love for their razors.

The Five-O Razor for Men and Women & 6 extra razors

This is such a useful and necessary product in my house and I am so excited to try these razors. I especially love that this product is for both men and women. I have always purchased men’s razors because I thought they were better than women’s but now I get a razor perfect for men and women! I did notice that they do not have the lotion strip on the razor itself, but I look forward to using the shaving cream provided.

Conditioning Shave Cream

$24

This shaving cream is loaded with vitamins and anti-oxidants. It is 100% Canadian made and 96% naturally derived. I imagine that a little will go a long way and this bottle will last me a very long time.

Verdict: This box is the perfect box for my summer vacation by the beach! I, like many people, do not enjoy spending so much money on razors, only to throw them in the garbage after a few uses. RazorCompany.com allows you to be in control of how many razors you get and how often you get them delivered. I love how they provide both razors for men and women and even safety razors as well as many additional shaving accessories. I think these razors are an amazing value and I know once my husband catches on, I will slowly see my razors disappearing as he uses them too.
